goto command

Many do (BASIC comes to mind)... but why?

You can do anything you can in the other languages without using goto. That's why it's not there, because they don't need it.

I know they don't need it, but I do. I just want to know which programming languages has goto and which don't ?

basic and C do.

Although maybe you should be asking yourself why you need to use goto.

Because I'm an amateur programmer.
I know about C, C++, C# ... supports goto, but I didn't know that none of those hundereds scripting languages supports it

lol, then you definitely shouldnt be using it...

Its actually an interesting question though. It just dawned on me that iv no idea, since iv never had to use a goto before in my life (except some error handling in C)

That's not a reason to use goto statements.

Most people will tell you a goto is rarely useful. The only place I can remember seeing gotos is Visual Basic error handling code, and it was basically a hack to make up for VB's lack of exceptions (although this may have changed in newer versions).

You can probably do the same thing you want with gotos by using some other language feature.
